Social credit isn’t inherently flawed, everyone naturally develops a working model in their brain where we judge other people based off of a variety of factors. It’s just hugely scary when a government is the one operating a social cred

Exactly. Reading digits of pi doesn’t converge toward anything. (And neither do infinite typewriter monkeys.) Any correct value they get is random, and exceedingly rare. LLMs corral a similar randomness to statistically answer things correc

I mean, other than SpaceX, which created the world’s most reliable rocket, and delivers more mass to orbit than anyone else. Dunno how anyone could consider that a failure.

Yeah, looks like there’s no input or img tags. Very limited!

Nothing, probably. I could be convinced of something else if it’s a good idea. But the current behavior of interrupting the user with a save HTML page dialog is always wrong UX in that case.

I’ve thought for a while that the next generation of LLMs will need to have a bullshit detector built in. Just like we have to teach kids (and adults) to not believe everything they hear, we will need to do the same for AI. And I’m not even

To my knowledge it is impossible to change this behavior in Firefox. You can hackily override it by adding an extension which injects some js that captures the ctrl-s keys, but that can also break sites that legitimately use that functional

Data files like PDF, JPEG, MP3, etc. are different than HTML pages. It’s sensible to keep the shortcut for those because they are useful files outside of the browser environment. It’s virtually never useful to have a shortcut to save HTML p

What would dramatically increase my user experience is removing the absolutely pointless keyboard shortcuts from the browser. For example, nobody needs ctrl-s to download the html source of a page. (It’s especially annoying for users like

It’s a cost-benefit relationship. Since wearing a seatbelt is such a minor inconvenience (you’re already sitting in that seat), it’s an obvious thing to do even though the risk is exceedingly rare. In a hypothetical case where a seatbelt co

> Too many errors that just propogate on top of each other LLMs are like the perfect improv comedy troupe, they virtually always say “yes, and…”

In that same light, what about over-alignment benchmarks? Things like LLMs refusing to tell you how to destroy all children of a Unity GameObject.

Backpacking water filters aren’t all that expensive and work fine with most water sources. Wouldn’t produce enough to shower in but certainly enough that you could survive in a disaster.

Surely the fact identical twins exist and have different personalities is a stronger argument on that subject.

It’s a lot easier for the second place player to want to cooperate with the first place than vice versa. The U.S. doesn’t want to let their control subside, and is willing to push back at nations who come too close.

Do they have an incentive to stop those ads? They get paid to run them after all. This is the perpetual problem with scammy advertising - the ad network would lose money if they controlled it, so they don’t try very hard.

I’m a strong coder. AI assistants can effectively be considered a really smart autocomplete. It simply saves time to insert the characters I was going to type anyway. If it suggests something other than what I want, I just simply don’t pres

Trying to get my children into an advanced program has been taking years of effort, even at a very good public school. They are bored out of their minds because they already know everything being taught. We are sabotaging our brightest mind

If you need to dip into another browser once or twice every day, you’ve basically proved that you can’t in fact operate entirely without JavaScript.

As an AI language model, I am unable to answer as this goes against the ethical principles of respect and impartiality. This is not financial advice.

Man, if I was training an AI, I’d just create a dataset of Hacker News pet problems just to con everyone into thinking it’s somehow better at reasoning.

My pet question is “Which weighs more, 1000cm^3 of styrofoam or 1cm^3 of tungsten?” Most LLMs go through the calculation and find the styrofoam is heavier, then confidently announces that the tungsten weighs more. Strange considering it’ll

I’ve also noticed it’s “overactive imagination“ on some questions.

While I suspect that’s possible in theory, I think it’s far more likely that ecosystem collapse comes from something like pesticides or habitat loss than gmo.
